I was so excited to stay at the graduate because the other locations I've stayed at have been amazing at this location. I was not happy with the room. The bathroom was so tiny. The door could barely close it bumped up to the toilet. I wasn't crazy about the ground level floor because it looked right into the courtyard with people sitting in front of my window that said with the curtains closed, there's absolutely no light in the room so that was difficult. The final summary is it's totally not worth the amount of money almost $2000 to stay there for three nights. I do not believe I will stay there again.

The front desk was not friendly at all. She didn’t even greet us when we walked in the door, and barely said a word to us as we checked in! Our room was fine, the beds were comfortable, and the decor is nice. The bathroom was extremely small and not very clean. There were hairs all over and dried blood up one wall and on the vanity when we arrived.

The breakfast was difficult as the system that sent the orders to the kitchen failed during breakfast. Bar staff was having difficulty ordering with the kitchen and had to cancel some people's orders after they'd waited for breakfast. Also, shower had lukewarm water for middle 1/3 of shower.
